A transfer of this obligation was made to George D. Armstrong on August 7, 1SS4, who held it until the first day ot the present month, when J. T. Bartlett paid the principle and interest dus and witnessed the same marked satisfied on the records of the court. It is now in our possession and at ths close of this service we hope to see consumed by fire.

The interest on the first bond up to 1876 and the interest from that time on the additional $2,000 makes a total of interest paid $3,503. This added to the principle of the two obligations make $5,103. The Rev. J. O.

Sypherd succeeded Brother Tomklnsin. The first year he reported 203 members and 13 probationers; benevolent collection, $146. His second year of service was a season of great revival, which gracious visitation is well remembered by many of you who are present. This year Sypherd reported 174 members and 176 probationers, a most remarkable fact The Rev. C.

M. Pegg began his work as pastor in 1S77 and continued through three years of service. He was followed by the Rev. P. H.

Rawlins. He urged the payment of the debt, but failed to receive the necessary encouragement to begin the work. At the end ot two years the Rev. T. R.

Creamer was appointed in charge and continued through three years. During bis pastorate the lecture room was reseated, painted and generally repaired at a cost of $1,700, which expense was paid, The wGrk ot the present pastorate is too fresh in all our minds to be a matter of history. Therefore, it is not necessary to state only in the briefest form the fact that since my introduction to this work we have raised for debts alone about To some this may not seem much to do, but when we reroemher that beside a pastoral expense of 1,300 each year, benevolent collections far beyond what the church ba ever done before, and a clean bal-anca sheet to-day, we are profoundly xrateful to cur Heavenly Father for such a happy issue out of all our troubles. Gwi has awakened a spirit of liberality and a heart and hand to give worthy cf ths greatest praise. Could 1 1 'U you how "many ot these dollars came the personal sacrifice and self-'ienial and the silent tearful pleadings with God you wculd promptly excuse any eemingly extravagant demonstration of joy and gladness upon our part.

And to our own people it may be said, in the language of Dr. Buckley iu the Christian Advocate of December 1, in reference to the offerings for missions, the "Recording Angel," to whom reference is frequently made, has never bad nobler work to do than to inscribe the' gifts and sacrifices of many of ttKae whom God has chosen poor in this world, but rich in faith and heirs of the promise.

Oa motion of George McCall, by a vote ot 24 yeas to 3 nays, It was decided to procure a harmonium, provided sufficient fundi could be raised to pay for it The following committee was appointed to raise money for the purpose: J. Weldin, W. H. Foulk, R. Pyle and J.

D. Aldred. At a meeting in February following the committee reported having raised the money and purchased the instrument In the month of May this year the officers and teachers by vote gave their consent for the church to nse the harmonium at the morning and evening service. Whether there were any intermediate services I know not "Truly a little Child shall lead them." In 1865, the church, under the pastorate of the Rev. J.

O'Neil, passed through a season of depression, and but for the heroic efforts of this devoted man it hardly seemed possible to maintain the work. Statistics for this year: Members, 185; probationers, value of property, benevolence, $140; pastor's salary, $650. At the close of this year, the presiding elder, the' Rev. J. Cunningham, proposed to the quarterly conference of Asbury to lend assistance in this crisis.

The Asbury friends kindly offered to take Scott under their care as a mission, which offer was declined by the Scott people. Just at this time it was proposed by certain members of 8t Paul's and Asbury churches to organize what is now Grace Church.The Rev. W. J.Stevenson had completed a full pastoral term at St Paul's, and the success of the new movement depended largely upon retaining bis services as pastor. It was proposed that Scott Church form a part of the new organization, so that the appointment of Mr.

Stevenson might be legalized. The officiary of Scott accepted the proposition, and at the conference of 1866 the plan was ratified and the name of Scott Church disappeared from the conference minutes as a separate charge. W. J. Stevenson and J.

Jones were the appointments for Grace Church. Jones, though old enough to be the father of Stevenson, was the junior who supplied fc'co" known as Grace Chapel. This year the camp meeting equipage was. sold, $300 from the sale. The ladies and fiiends of church gave a supper, the nrt receipts amounting to $500.

These amounts greatly relieved the financial embarrassment of the Board of Trnsteea Grace Church assisted liberally in paying the salary Together they paid Brother Jones $900. The arrangement ceased at the close of the conference year, and in 1S67 Scott Church stands as formerly in the minutes, with L. Dobson as pastor. He boarded on West street above Eighth, a point his members thought a little too remote from bis people for successful work. In 186S the Rev.

Andrew Cather became the pastor. A parsonage on Sixth street near Lombard was provided for his family. He soon began to agitate the matter cf another enlargement of the church building. The plans were made and the work began an extension in length to be 83 feet and the walls to be 24 feet high in the main audience room. While toe work was being dons tha congregation worshipped a part of the time in Institute Hall and for seme time in the City Hall.

The Sunday school during the time was sheltered in the pnblio school building across ths street from the church. When the work was fairly nnder way Brother Cather informed the official men that he had received an appointment from Bimp'oa as a missionary to the far West. This announcement greatly surprised and somewhat discouraged those engaged la th Jwork as they awoke to the fact that they hal neither church building nor pastor. With confidence in God and the righteousness of the cause they had undertaken they, in the face of great difficulties, succeeded in enclosing the building and completing the lecture room, and at once opened this part of the house for regular services. Bishop Scott, assisted by the Rev.

J. D. Curtis, conducted the services on this occasion. G. Moody, a long and faithful member of this devoted band of Christian workers, by common consent cf the members was placed in charge of the religious services.

There began a revival extending through many weeks, and additions were made to the church. Ia 1869 the first session of the Wilmington Conference was held. The conference convened in Asbury Church, this city, Bishop Simpson presiding. Scott reported 106 members, thirty probationers, church property, $10,000. The only collection reported was $95 tor missionary purposes.

F. M. Chatham, whose name an i labors are well remembered by many who hear ma, became the pastor. The revival spirit was abroad in the church during his entire pastorate. When the nams ot Mr.

Chatham was suggested some of the officials sought an interview with the prospective preacher. After satisfying themselves they were not to be burdened with a family, one of the brethren, a little more inquisitive, asked Chatham if he expected to be married that year, or in other words, it be'were hunting a wife. The presnmptiou was that Scott Church could furnish the object ot a search in that direction. Chatham married the next year and the people The Christmas number of Harper's azir ia extremely attractive, both in 9 illustrations and its text. "Ishmael, or in the Depths" (T.

Latham, Alexander Co. of 13 and 18 Wall street, New York. It contains the annual letter of this firm reviewing the business ot the last cotton year and discussing the prospects of the new crop; two specially prepared articles by Thomas Ellison of Liverpool; care fully prepared tables showing the fluctuations of cotton contracts and cotton in this country and Europe, and the receipts, exports and general movement of cotton for a series of years; and mush other information bearing upon cotton, making altogether a complete and thoroughly practical reference book.

Price, $3. "Christian Facts and Forces" (Charles Seribner's Sons, New York), by the Rev. Newman Smyth of New Haven, author of "Old Faiths in New Light," "The Reality of Faith," is a volume that will bring great comfort to many Christian hearts. It is made up mainly of sermons recently preached by the author in the regular course of his ministry at the Centre Church. The book is thus divided into twenty sections or chapters.

A notion of the subject matter may be gained from the titles, some of which are as follows: "The Changed World "The Honesty of Jesus," "Standing in the Truth," "The Beginning of Disciple-ship," "Signs of the Times," "The Christian Revelation of Life," "A Real Sense of Sin A Lenten Sermon," "The Great Requirement," "Putting the Witness Away," "The Go3pel a Gift to the Senses," and "The Interdependence of all Saints." The treatment of these various themes eminently scriptural and religious. One gains the impression from reading these sermons that this preacher bad no thought of seeing what he wrote in print; that his whole intention was to administer to his hearers such a portion of God's truth as he judged likely at different times to be helpful to tbem, Those who read the book with simitar sincerity and honesty of purpose will doubtless find it to be both refreshing and strengthening.

New York by James Baldwin, author of "The Story of Siegfried" and "The Story of Roland." is a caDital book for bovs. The object of the story is to pave the way to an enjoyable reading of Homer "Iliad" and "Odvssev either in th original Greek or in translations. To this end the author has taken the various legends relating to the causes of the Trojan war, and has woven tnem into a continuous narrative.

which ends where Homer's story be gins. The hero of this tale is Odysseus, better known, perhaps, as the crafty Ulysses; and the author contrives, by beginning with the bovhood of OiIvb. seus, to show us bow the lad was instructed in some of the most beautiful of the old Greek myths, which are thus related equally for the benefit of the youthful reader of to day. The whole work is life like and poetic. It shows the old Greek life, and also describes, through the actors them selves, ail those causes which led to the siege and downfall of Troy, The work is provided with notes, maps ana an index to proper names.

It is illustrated with twelve excellent draw ings by Howard Pyle of this city, two ot these drawings being reproduced upon the richly decorated covers. It is a book of scholarly value, charm ingly written, and full of that adven turous atmosphere with which hnvi ars always fascinated. C. F. Thomas Co.

have it; price, 2. "Bodyke" (G. P. Putnam's Rons New York), bv Hcnrv Norman, in chapter in the history of Irish landlordism. It is written from the point of view of an intense svmnathizpr the Irish peasants, and is illustrated by several rude sketches made from instantaneous photographs taken by the author.

It is printed in the "Onestinn of the Day" series. Bodyke is a pleas ant little village some twentv miles from Limerick, It consists tf thirtv or forty bouses and half a dozen shons. and is situated on the estate of Colonel O'Oallaghan. The thing described in this volume is the eviction of twentv- seven tenants, the total number of rr. sons in th se families story is told with all the circumstantial de tails, not only of the evictions them selves, but also of the area of the hold mgs, the value of the improvements made by the tenants, and the amount of the rent at different times.

It ia very clear and concise account of the precise grievance of the Irish tenants. and is a fair example of the process of eviction as it is carried on in various parts of Ireland. Some persona who read the volume will probably conclude tnat the Irish problem is rather diffi cult to solve satisfactorily. Delaware landlords ordinarily, we believe, decide freely who shall live in their houses and who shall not; but Delaware ten. ants do not generally make so many improvements as the Irish tenants do, and there is also an opportunity in this country for every tenant, who desires to ao so, to become a landlord.

1. N. Foreman joined the enures and continued an active worker until he joined the conference. In 1861 the Rsv. H.

H. Bodice was appointed pastor. He began bis work at a critical period. There was widespread alarm throughout the country csued by the rumors of war. The business interests of tbl city were unsettled and large numbers of workmen were thrown out of employment The call of the President for volunteers bad been issued and men were flecking to the various centres for enlistment, and not a few of the members of Scott Church joined the ranks of the brave men who determined to save the Union at the price of Mood.

The church found itself greatly crippled in its work, and the gain of previous years was more than lost in thess years of excitement. At the following conference tbera was reported 1SS members, 4 probationers; the collection for ths Sve benevolences, together with that of conference claims, was $31 60. Agalnet ths preoediog year, 1S61, 201 member), 20 probationers, and collections $53. It seems almost incredible that we should have re-' ported for the benevolent collections last year $423 and 260 members. The Sunday school reported in 1859 200 scholars, and in 1863 150 scholars, so there was depletion here.

The committee on estimating preacher's salary reported progress at each quarterly conference nntil the last one. The conclusion reached after deliberating a whole year was that the preacher ought to have 400. If it required such a length of time to make the estimate, bow long do you imagine it was necessary to raise the money? As I have not been able to Bad a financial statement of the board of stewards, I am not prepared to say whether the balance stood in favor of the pastor or the board of stewards at the end of the year. This year the annual conference sent dawn to the quarterly conference a proposition to vote on the question of dividing the conference territory. Ths quarterly conference of this church sent in reply this psptr: "Whereas, Tba Philadelphia Conference at its last session referred the division of the said conferenoe by state lines to the several quarterly con-ferencas oa the Peninsula, for an expression of opinion.

Whereas, The whole country is now greatly agitated on the division. Whereas, In our judgment it would be nowise to do anything to increase said agitation; therefore resolved, first, That In the judgment of this quarterlv conference it is inexpedient to divide the Philadelphia Conference. Resolved, reoond, That it is inexpedient to divide said conference by state lines at any time." The work contemplate! by the annua! conference was accomplished in 1S69. March 33, 1356, Mary E. Stewart, at this time the wife of I.

H. MoKai, was elected female superintendent. Boe has been a faithful worker all these many years.

At the quarterly confer? nc; of July, this year, the pastor in bis report of tba Sunday school notes a collection for wounded soldiers.

The parsonage this year was moved to Sixth street near Lombard. All through this year there seemed to be great interest in the Sunday school work. The otHosrs elected at the annual meeting of the School Board were: Superintendent, W. H. Foulk; assistant, Moody; female superintendent, Sarah Kc-Pherson: secretary, 1.

D. Aldred; librarian, L'xiie Piokeis; aasutant librarian, N. Foreman. The treasurer reported February, 1863: Cash paid for sundries, $85123: amount of bills due, cash received, S5.03; indebtedness, $30.10. At this meeting a motion was made and carried that a door be cut between the two bick classrooms for infant olass W.

H. Foulk was appointed to do the work and wait two years for the money. The tubjsct ot having a magio lantern exhibition for ths beneSS ot the school was brought up. Oa motion the committee was instructed to employ said lantern for the sum of $5. We learn from the pro-ectdlogs of the next meeting that $31 was mads for the school by the entertainment In December of this year, at a special meriting of the oSloers and teachers, the of Introducing imftrumeatsj reasic volumes are brought into a single book, containing (iW pages, and in full gilt.

Mr. Dielman's etchings are eight in number, and are of the best quality. They add a great deal to the interest of the story. The covers are of dark blue cloth, thickly Bprinkled with silver stars. The design is one of the prettiest that we have seen for a long symbolizes with exquisite grace the sense of desolation sug gested by the title, "The Wide, Wide World," into which one wanders, under the canopy of the sky, friendless and alone.

We have no doubt that this one of the Misses Warner's two famous stories will touch a sympathetic chord among many of the read ers of to day, just as it did among those who read it thirty-five years ago. Its republication in this handsome form ia a novel stroke of enterprise, which will contribute to the pleasure of many readers, and which will enable the younger generation to become acquainted with one of the books that almost swept the country before the war.

The illustrations are from drawings and photographs made dur ing the writer's visit.

The frontis piece is a noble portrait of Mr. Lincoln just before his inauguration in 1861, The portion of the Lincoln history given this month deals with Mr. Lincoln's journey to Washington and the inauguration. A part of the inaugural address is given in manu script, showing Mr. Seward's sugges tions for the closing paragraph, and the more effective form which it took under Mr.

Lincoln's hand.

General Paine, jut before starting for New York last season to take part in the trial races, found that the Volunteer could take on board several more tons of ballast, and the question was, what was ths best thing to nse that would fill up all the spaces, and still stow away low down and solidly? The general was not long in deciding what was best to use, so be went and purchased the material, and, by prior arrangement, it arrived at Lawley's yard just after the workmen had quit work and had left for the day.

There were a number of small boxes, and they were all labelled "cement." Captain Haft was there when the boxes arrived, and at once set the men at work, in getting the ballast on board the Volunteer. Those who were present thought that the cement was pretty heavy, for although the boxes were less than a foot square it was about as much as any one of the sturdy tars wanted to do to handle one. It was well into the night before the boxes were put on board, and early the next morning they were opened. The members ot the crew were surprised when they saw that the boxes were filled with the smallest buckshot. The shot was laid in the proper place, and afterward cement was plaoed over it, and it is now packed solidly in the Volonteer.

It was an original idea with General Paine. One can easily see how the small shot would fill every crevice, and at the same time be stowed solidly and low down. The two tone of ballast were quite expensive. Don't If. a dealer offers yu a bottle of Dr.
